No. 25-60372

Even with the benefit of liberal construction of his brief, Jones does not address the district court’s reasons for dismissing his complaint and has therefore abandoned any such challenge. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 225 (5th Cir. 1993); Brinkmann v. Dall. Cnty. Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
